Default Futuristic sailplane on December 1967 Soaring cover

I've been fascinated by this unusual image on the cover of Soaring
magazine:

http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/...67Dec_full.jpg

I always assumed it was a reaction to the movie 2001 since it bears a
distinct resemblance to the spaceplane in that movie, but recently
realised that it pre-dates the release of the movie by a good few months.
It's a striking design and an impressive cover piece. Is there an
interesting story to go with it?
